The zlib-devel package was not installed on my laptop and so there was no include/zlib.h header. The configure script detected this and disabled support. Hmm, looks like Ns_CompressGzip() returns an error if zlib support is not enabled. I guess we just issue a warning at configure time, and come up with a workaround for the test.
